It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players. This week, the talented Nance Leedy has an adorable sketch for us. I decided to pair the new Tea Party stamp set with the delightful Plaid Pattern from the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper Collection. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide x 4-1/4″ long.
- Deco delight! The new Deco Label Framelits provide the perfect canvas for a Raspberry Ripple Pitcher with Flowers from the Tea Party stamp set. Of course, every flower deserves the perfect Pearl center!
- Button basics! A Raspberry Ripple Hexagon anchors one of the new Very Vintage Designer Buttons.
- Doily and banner! A Tea Lace Paper Doily provides a quick and easy backdrop to the So Grateful banner. This sentiment, from the Apothecary Art set, was stamped in Raspberry Ripple.
Little Lexi Wins Big
Saturday found little Lexi and I in sweltering Iowa City for the Hawkeye Kennel Club dog show, Day #1. And who should emerge victorious? Why, luscious Lexi herself. Lexi garnered the Winners female title, and took her place right behind the Best of Breed winner, having been named the Best of Opposites. Woo hoo, Lexi Lou!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Won’t you let me know in your comment? And remember, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
This deep red card is georgeous! Love the design elements as it gives the eye alot to do. Your cards are complex enough but at the same time not too cluttered. I ALWAYS love to look at your designs…BRAVO!
Ann, first of all congratulations to Lovely Lexi! She sure is a beauty. So is your awesome car. I love the color combo and that teapot is so pretty. I could have predicted you would order that set! Hugs š Sandy
Way to go Lexi! Congrats! Love your card too. Loving Raspberry Ripple.
Very pretty, Ann! It’s nice to see Raspberry Ripple. I have not seen the new catty. Smoky Slate sounds beautiful!
Congrats to Lexi!
Congrats to Lexi! What a beautiful card as always! It has been such a pleasure being on the design team these past six months! I will miss it! Thank you so much! š
This is so pretty, Ann! I love the way you used the doily, and that button looks perfect on the hexagon.
Ann – You always have a way of taking things I have and love (that DSP and the framelits) and mixing them with things I don’t have but now need (that stamped flower arrangement and hexagon image/punch. This card is beautiful. I am so happy to know you. Big congrats to Lexi.
Great card, Ann! The color combo is so warm and inviting. The vintage button is a fun touch, too. I have two packages of those that I forgot about until I saw your card. Time to bust them open. Have a great day! š
How elegant! Love the colors and paper you chose here…
Ann this is so pretty. LOVE how you anchored the button with a hexagon! Very cool indeed! I love learning new tricks from you…and
I’m going to use that one…for sure. Of course the pearls in the flowers are a given and the lacey doily pulls everything together for a spot of tea!
Congrats on Lexi’s wins… wow you must be proud! . hugs.
So Pretty!! I can’t believe how much you can get done!! You and Lexi are amazing!
Hugs

I love this card and the stamp set!!
Major congrats to Lexi!!
Pretty card and colors. Of course the flowers deserve pearls.
Big congrats to little Lexi!
Hi Ann! Such a pretty card. And happy for Lexi too. Good job girl!
I DO love this card….that paper is on my wish list (read: next order!) and that little image is as sweet as can be! Your button looks so cute on the hexagon too. I REALLY need to play with my new goodies! And congrats to Lexi (and mom!)!
Hi Ann! Oh, Lexi looks all grown up and Diva-like! Way to go little one, following along your big sis. So exciting Ann!
Your card is so charming. Love the doily and button. You must have dyed the baker’s twine? I wouldn’t have put those two colors together but they look very nice together. That’s why I come visit Ann, to learn some new tricks. Thanks for that!
Way to go, Lexi girl!
And way to go, Ann, with this lovely card. So wonderfully embellished!
This is wonderful, Ann! The plaid is the perfect pattern compliment to the tea party stamp–as is the doily “table”. Lovely use of the sketch and kudos to Lexi Lou!!
This is absolutely stunning! The colors and layering is fantastic! Congratulations to Lexi…she is following behind big sister!
What does “Best of Opposites” mean? NB
Way to go, Lexie! Your mom’s card is fabulous too. Nancy B
Hooray for Lexi!
Wow this card is so hot! I wanted to say cool but these are some hot colors! I would have never thought to pair them. Of course, I had not noticed that paper either to start with. But, it all works so well! The addition of the doily and pearls are the perfect touches. Love it!
Wonderful win for you and Lexi! Plus, the added bonus of not having to drive so far.
This posting of yours is a total win-win situation!

Absolutely lovely card Ann! And a big congrats to Lexi! So happy for you š
Who would have thought these two colors could have worked together so well? Ann did!! Great card. And that is a beautiful picture of Lexi; congrats for the big win.
Wow! What a stunning card! Love these colors together and that DSP is awesome, reminds me of a picnic too! I love the button with the raspberry ripple bow, so pretty! Congratulations Lexi! Woo! Hoo!
Hi Ann! My apologies as it’s been a long time since I stopped by. Your card is stunning, as always. I love the details you added with the button and the pearls (naturally!). Congratulations to Miss Lexi! Hope everyone is doing well.
This is so cool – it’s kind of like a tea party picnic – moving the tea party outdoors for the summer. The pitcher makes me think of “redwork” which I admire but have never done. The pearls, the button, the doily – it all goes together beautifully! Go Lexi!!
Way to go Lexi.
Love this card, Ann. It is beautiful.
Happy Sunday.
Congratulation Lexi!! Love your card that is making me think of Scotland for some reason! hehe. Vx
